The revolutionary innovation is the quick and easy programming of the robot using the intuitive OzoBlockly block editor, which you can open in any web browser. Another option is to draw lines with color codes with markers on paper. Ozobot will drive through paths full of intersections and turns as you specify using ozocodes - color sequences that it reads with its sensors. Ozobot Bit+ is also at home in the application. Place it on the tablet display and solve logical tasks, program choreography to your favorite song or play games with friends.
In addition to the mini robot, this starter kit also includes a set of activities that will help you smoothly penetrate the secrets of programming. There is also a set of 5 washable markers so you can start drawing color codes and your own intricate paths right away. All of this together in a spacious zippered case.
Meet the mischievous mini robot
Do you want a fun robot to control that fits in your pocket? Would you like to get your children interested in computer science? Do you enjoy new technologies and want to try programming? Start with Ozobot Bit+, it can easily do everything at once and even more. It is a smart toy and a well-thought-out teaching aid at the same time, suitable for hobby and school education across subjects and grades. The little bot is packed with features, it will win you over with its cuteness and surprising skills. It can follow guidelines and execute coded commands drawn on paper, or it will do everything according to a simply created script that you program yourself in the intuitive OzoBlockly editor. Does it sound complicated? You don't have to be afraid of it at all. It is easy to control and can be mastered with ease by 8-year-old children and adults who prefer to avoid small electronics. And even preschoolers dare to take on the easiest tasks! From a young age, you can develop their creativity, critical thinking, teamwork, coding, and problem-solving skills.
Everything you need to get started with programming
In addition to the Bit+ robot, the starter kit also includes a set of activities that will help you smoothly penetrate the secrets of programming. There is also a set of 5 washable markers so that you can start drawing color codes and your own intricate paths right away. The width of the marker track is adapted directly to the sensors of the little bot. This helps it navigate your routes and turns better and does not require frequent calibration. This minimal equipment, which you cannot do without at the beginning, is delivered neatly together in a spacious zippered case.
STEM teaching aid for modern schools
Ozobot Bit+ will creatively introduce the world of robotics, computer science and programming to pupils and students of primary, secondary and higher education. In the Czech Republic, Ozobot is a very popular STEM tool for modern teaching of polytechnic disciplines. STEM is a concept focused on four disciplines – Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. However, do not look for a classic method of education behind it. On the contrary, it aims to solve real-world challenges and emphasizes critical and creative thinking. The playful Ozobot is ideal for this type of teaching. Imagine, for example, how a small robot counts the intersections it has traveled or randomly selects numbers and mathematical operations for pupils to perform with them. Or how it travels through a drawn diagram of the human respiratory system during biology class and helps children understand this basic physiological process.
Creativity is not left out either – when drawing the guide line and Ozocodes, you can let your imagination run wild, or equip Ozobot with your own backdrops and costumes. That is why we would not be afraid to label Ozobot as a tool that belongs more to the STEAM concept of education. In addition to the subjects mentioned above, it also emphasizes the arts, not only visual, musical or dramatic. This can also include the ability to master language, formulate ideas and present them convincingly. Lessons with Ozobot can also include a discussion, during which students explain their steps, describe the problems they had to solve, and the methods that led to the completion of the task. The number of topics that you can cover from individual fields with the robot is extremely wide. And this is well noticed by the professional community, which has awarded Ozobot several prestigious awards in the field of education and technology.
Tutorial portal
Not sure if you can come up with interesting and sophisticated tasks for children to complete with the Bit+ robot after exhausting the included activities? Don't worry! There is an online library of lessons for educational institutions (in English). The lessons are marked according to difficulty and focus , and most importantly, more are added regularly! On the manufacturer's website, you can download and print ready-made mazes, race tracks, and an overview of color codes and commands . You can play selected games here without having to install applications or watch instructional videos. Another source of inspiration will be the fantastic community of educators who teach a wide range of subjects and share their own ideas and plans. The Ozobotí community is very active and constantly developing. Therefore, we can only recommend watching the webinars for teachers.
